WS2812B LED Strip with Domoticz Selector Switch

TestCenter last edited by TestCenter

I have a MySensor node with a WS2812B LED strip attached. I have (now) four different patterns for the LED strip. From Domoticz I want to select this patterns with a Selector Switch.

See this example Selector Switch:

I’m looking in the Library Examples but I don’t know with which example I can start. Can someone give me the right direction to do this?

I'm using MySensors 2.0

Thanks.

@drradkin First you need to add your serial gateway as a hardware device. You can see below my LAN Gateway on the hardware page. You will need to select the Mysensors gateway USB from the drop down list and probably enter the serial port it is connected to. Once the gateway is running start up your node and then click the setup button for the mysensors gateway. You should now see the node listed. if you click on the node you will see its children listed as well. In the picture below you can see my lightning detector node which also has two light (relay) switches shown as S_LIGHTS_BINARY with child id's of 3 and 4 Now you go to the Devices page and you should see the switches listed there. You can see my two switches with a unit id of 3 and 4 in the middle of the list. Now to use these you will need to click on the green arrow for the switch over on the right side of the page (mine are blue as they are already added) to add them to your used devices. you will get a requester to give it a name. Then you will be able to see them on your switches page. Again you can see my two switches called Flood Lights and Pool Lamps. you can turn them on and off by clicking the light globe icon.

By the way I just had similar errors. I have an rgbw controller nod up and running that can be controlled from the frontend of domoticz. Trying to control it from a script threw the same error as in the link above. I will be trying to restart the node tomorrow, but if I am not the only one seeing the problem there might be an error in domoticz somewhere.

Update. Please note that when @kk02067 gave the response directly above it was for Ver 2.0 and referenced a line in that code. It appears that changes leading to Ver 2.1.1 the location has changed and the delay(100) line would not be added at L463 as referenced. In Ver 2.1.1 it is now added between L659 and L660. It will look like this I believe: L658 _msgTmp.destination = sender; L659 // send ACK, use transportSendRoute since ACK reply is not internal, i.e. if !transportOK do not reply ADD delay(100) here!! L660 (void)transportSendRoute(_msgTmp); Also, I have not yet used Ver 2.1.1, so don't know if the changes in the latest version might solve the Domoticz relay ack issue I had. This solution solved my problems 100% in Ver 2.0.

Hello @TheoL I am having the same problem with a slightly similar sketch. the delay didn't have much impart. One second its working fine and the next its breaking into errors. I couldn't find a .1uf Capacitor, so I used electrolytic 1uf instead. Worked fine in the Sprinkler Project, but I don't know if that's the problem here. My sketch is a follows:- // Example sketch showing how to control physical relays. // This example will remember relay state even after power failure. // Enable debug prints #define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 #define MY_NODE_ID 6 // Set this to fix your Radio ID or use AUTO or 1 #define MY_REGISTRATION_FEATURE // Forece registration #define MY_REGISTRATION_RETRIES 5 #include <Wire.h> #include <TimeLib.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <MySensors.h> #include <LCD.h> #include <LiquidCrystal.h> #include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> // For Debug #ifdef DEBUG_ON #define DEBUG_PRINT(x) Serial.print(x) #define DEBUG_PRINTLN(x) Serial.println(x) #else #define DEBUG_PRINT(x) #define DEBUG_PRINTLN(x) #define SERIAL_START(x) #endif #define RELAY_PIN 2 // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc) #define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 4 // Total number of attached relays #define RELAY_ON 0 // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay #define RELAY_OFF 1 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay #define SKETCH_NAME "Swimming Pool Node" #define SKETCH_VERSION "0.1.4" #define CHILD_ID 0 MyMessage msg(1,V_LIGHT); unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 5000; // Sleep time inbetween reads in milliseconds void setup() { for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) { // Then set relay pins in output mode pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) // digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); // to remember last state digitalWrite(pin, loadState? 0 : 0); // Keep everything off after power failure } } void presentation() { sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_VERSION); // Fetch relay status for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) { // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices) present(sensor, S_BINARY); pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); // Then set relay pins in output mode // boolean savedState = loadState(sensor); // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) // digitalWrite(pin, savedState?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); // send(msg.set(savedState? 0 : 1)); } DEBUG_PRINTLN(F("Sensor Presentation Complete")); } void loop() { // Alway process incoming messages whenever possible // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute. // sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(msg.sensor-1+RELAY_PIN), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME); wait(SLEEP_TIME); } void receive(const MyMessage &message){ // Change relay state if message is receieved if (message.type == V_STATUS){ digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_PIN, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); // Store state in eeprom saveState(message.sensor-1+RELAY_PIN, message.getBool()); // Write some debug info Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor ID: "); Serial.print(message.sensor); Serial.print(", New status: "); Serial.println(message.getBool()); } }

I read this post yesterday and today I solved it. My GW was restarting as soon as I was sending a command to a MYS node with dimmer child. I am using nRF PA-LNA, with extra power supply, PA_HIGH. Domoticz 3.8795, MYS 2.1.1. Nano as serial GW. Tried PA_LOW, new nRF but that didn't help. Today I found the solution, I disabled DEBUG in GW and now I can't reproduce any restarts.

Today I had the same experiance with the ESP8266 gateway. Relay sensor and temp sensor working ok but the binary switch sensor did not work. It was correctly added in Domoticz but no status changes. When searching I found this post and build a quick and dirty USB gateway using an arduino Nano, plugged it in my Raspberry PI that runs Domoticz and bingo, it works ! So thanks for your post. One thing I did see in the telnet session to the ESP gateway, there were long numbers (6 digits I believe) at the end of the message were there should be a 0 or 1, indicating the status of the input. The gateway did not crash. Looks like a bug in the ESP gateway.
